Working for Change Without Recreating the Past

If we want to transform our institutions into organizations based in integrity, meaning and care for everyone, how we work for change is equally important to what change we want to create. The “how” – maintaining a commitment to nonviolence on the deepest level – will require working for change, even in the face of oppressive structures, without any hatred, as well as creating a world that works even for the former oppressors.
